After deciding to take the time to converse with my Sirius Radio representative on the phone I learned about my right to the Playboy channel. Being that Playboy is associated with visual stimulation I wasn’t too sure about paying extra for it. After a brief solicitation from the clerk on the phone I signed up for life and learned that I get all the channels Sirius broadcasts. That means I don’t have to pay extra for the good channels.

Rep: “No sir you only have to ask us to authorize the Playboy channel due to parental consent regulations.”

Me: “Really?”

Rep: “Yes sir.”

I believe at that moment I let out some sort of lion’s roar in triumph.

The evening was spent helping Brian move his parent’s weight machine to Schifsky’s house. When I heard that they would be doing it this evening I naturally volunteered my help being the generous person I am. Little did we realize the long task ahead…

Just kidding, it wasn’t that bad. We did have to wait for a while to get our trailer. Due to the sheer size some parts were removed, by Brian of course. Being our resident Al from “Tool Time” Brian was naturally selected for most of the fine work. Mostly I think it was that the rest of us were feeling lazy as it was pretty late by the time any moving was actually done.

I did take the down-time during the move to make full use of the forgotten trampoline in the back yard. I’d bet that my action was more than it had seen in a long time. After a solid 10 min. of jumping and some questionable creaking sounds I dismounted.

To the pics: 1) Jinx looking old but none the worse for wear. 2) Yeager (meister?) the younger lab eager to see what all those people were crowding up for. 3) and 4) A little lounging while the people chat it up before getting down to business. 5) Watching B. tear down the weight set with eager anticipation. 6) Downtime=fridge raid.
